Good morning, this is your San Diego County and Orange County surf forecast for Tuesday, June 16th through Friday. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through 11 PM Friday as we're dealing with some serious rip current activity along the coast. Let's start with what's happening in the water today. We're looking at high rip current risk across both San Diego and Orange County beaches. If you're planning a beach day, make sure you're aware of these dangerous currents and know how to escape them if you get caught. The rule is simple: don't panic and swim parallel to the shore. For the swell, Orange County can expect three to six feet with local sets reaching seven feet. Down in San Diego County, we're looking at three to five feet, with south-facing beaches seeing sets up to six feet. The water temperature is slightly warmer down south, ranging from 67 to 69 degrees compared to Orange County's 61 to 67 degrees. We've got mixed swell coming from multiple directions, which is creating that bumpy, complex surf pattern we're experiencing. Thunderstorm potential is nonexistent, so at least you won't have to worry about lightning ruining your session. Now let's talk tides because they're crucial for planning your beach visit. In Orange County at Newport Beach, we've got a low of minus 1.7 feet at 6:18 AM, followed by a high of 3.7 feet around 1 PM. You'll see another low at 5:20 PM and a high of 6.7 feet late tonight at 11:41 PM. Down in San Diego at La Jolla, similar patterns with a low of minus 1.7 feet at 6:12 AM and a high of 3.7 feet at 12:53 PM. Another low at 5:17 PM and that high tide reaches 6.7 feet at 11:35 PM. Wednesday looks much like today. The rip current risk remains high across both counties, so exercise the same caution. We're maintaining three to six feet in Orange County with local sets to seven feet. San Diego County stays at three to five feet with south-facing beaches picking up six-foot sets. Again, no thunderstorm threat, so it's a clean water situation weather-wise. The mixed swell continues from slightly different angles, suggesting the surf pattern is evolving just a bit day to day. Wednesday's tides will shift slightly earlier, with the low tide at La Jolla occurring at 7 AM and the high tide at 1:44 PM. This pattern holds through Friday when the Beach Hazards Statement expires. Stay aware, stay safe, and if you're heading out, respect those rip currents. They're no joke this week.
